<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>No matter how the next scans come out, keep looking for options. My husband was diagnosed with RCC in Nov 2009. 6 months later mets were found in his bones and adrenal gland. He did IL-2 in July 2010 he had 9 treatments during both weeks of round 1 (had to stop due to hear complicatons as well). Since there was no improvement to the size of the adrenal tumor, he was not elgible for additional rounds. In March of 2011 he participated in a clinical trial (which included IL-2). Here is the link. <a href="http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00720785?term=nct00720785&amp;rank=1">http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00720785?term=nct00720785&amp;rank=1</a>. I honestly think the IL-2 is what kept things at bay. He had another met pop up last march and he is now on Inlyta. Good luck!</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/254184%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/254184%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>
